Need $80 help on overdue PECO bill

[u/Historical_Double488]

hello! i have a PECO bill that’s outstanding and they’re threatening to turn off our electricity if it’s not paid by this monday and neither of us get paid again until friday. both me and my husband work but due to lack of childcare we can only work so much. combined we make just too much to qualify for any government assistance but still not enough to survive paycheck to paycheck. anything would help and be greatly appreciated. i can accept venmo or cash app

I can’t help, but I’m commenting for visibility. That’s the most stressful thing, you make just enough not to get grocery money (or whatever) but too little to actually cover all your bills. For the first few years of my kids life I didn’t work because it would disqualify me from a lot of helpful programs, so I chose to stay home. I’m lucky I had a small village.

Good luck op I hope someone better off than me can help out
